Chapter 003: Lichun Internet Cafe
Ben Thanh, Lichun Internet Cafe.
It's Monday, it's dinner time, and the Internet café is relatively deserted, with most of the hundreds of computers empty.
A few angry teenagers came in with cigarettes in their mouths and bats, and instead of getting their internet cards like the others, they stood there and glanced around, and then walked straight to a teenager who was surfing the Internet with their backs to them.
"You are Liu Chuanfeng?"
With a "bang", the bat slammed heavily on the computer desk, and a metal ashtray was swept to the ground with a "clang" sound. A few customers who were surfing the Internet next to him stood up curiously and looked at it.
"Look at Nima, look! Squat down for me! A shirtless boy shouted at the crowd.
Seeing that he had two toothed and clawed ribbon fish tattooed on his arm, and a few curious heads obediently retracted - these bad boys still didn't mess with it. Stay away from them, and don't get blood on you.
Liu Chuanfeng turned a deaf ear to the noise around him, and was still concentrating on playing a single-player mini-game, he was hitting the record for the fastest clearance of this game, and the current record holder is a Russian player.
"Did you hear that?" The bat slammed into the keyboard, and the plastic keyboard was smashed to pieces. The fat sister, the cashier of the Internet café, secretly grabbed the phone.
Game-over, a line of English is displayed on the screen - after all, it is still a few seconds away from the world record.
Liu Chuanfeng slowly stood up and looked coldly at several provocative teenagers.
Although he is not yet 17 years old, Liu Chuanfeng's height has grown to more than 1.8 meters, which is more than half a head taller than the people in front of him.
"Hou, Master Hou, just, it's him, no, don't pay the protection fee, pay back, pay back, and beat me up." A thin, short teenager stammered.
The tattooed young man known as Hou Ye squinted his eyes and looked him up and down: "You are Liu Chuanfeng stepping on a horse?" Which way are you on the road? Do you know who is behind your school? Do you know what Lao Tzu is called? ”
Although Hou Ye is only in his twenties, he speaks domineeringly, if it weren't for the fact that the two strings of ribs on his stomach are too obvious, he really has the style of a big brother.
Although surrounded by several vicious delinquent teenagers, Liu Chuanfeng had no fear on his face, and said expressionlessly: "You disturbed me playing the game." ”
Hou Ye jumped up!
"I fired Grandma Li, did you hear what he said? Lao Tzu disturbed him to play a game?! ”
Hou Ye is from Hubei, N and L are indistinguishable, "fried Grandma Li" is actually a curse to greet Liu Chuanfeng's grandmother. It's not to stir up Grandma Li's meaning.
"Phew!"
Hou Ye spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the computer screen, and the unicorn arm shook and reached out to slap him, but Liu Chuanfeng firmly grabbed his wrist. Hou Ye twisted twice but didn't pull it out, and wanted to raise his foot to kick him in front of him but was blocked by a stool, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
In the midst of the stalemate, a young man with long hair hurriedly walked in.
"What for? The little rabbit ran away from me, this trouble is coming? ”
Liu Chuanfeng let go of Hou Ye's hand, Hou Ye withdrew his unicorn arm, turned his head and looked up and down at the long-haired young man with glasses and a sven face, and spit on the chassis with a "poof": "Who broke your crotch and exposed you?" Lao Tzu has your part in interfering in this ordinary matter? ”
"Go out peacefully and don't make trouble in the Internet café!" The long-haired young man said calmly.
"Who are you stepping on?"
"I'm the owner of this Internet café."
"Rub, you are Grandpa Hai? Disrespectful, disrespectful! Hou Ye clenched his hands into fists, but there was no trace of respect on his face when he was polite. "Father-in-law Hai" is a little famous in this vicinity, but Hou Ye is not afraid of him.
"Do you know who my boss is? Big B! Hou Ye gave a thumbs up and asked himself with a proud expression.
"I don't care if you're a big B or a big A, you can't make trouble in an Internet café!" The long-haired young man said indifferently.
Hou Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said viciously: "Okay, if you have a kind, when Brother B comes out, I will let him personally clean you up!" Brothers, go! ”
Hou Ye gave an order, and a group of rabble swaggered out of the Internet café.
Watching Hou Ye and the others disappear, the long-haired young man exhaled a long breath, wiped a handful of cold sweat and sighed in his heart: Grass, almost beaten!
Turning his head to look at Liu Chuanfeng, he said, "What's the matter with you stepping on a horse?" Why did you get into trouble with these little rascals? ”
Liu Chuanfeng said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Brother Hai, I will pay for the broken keyboard." ”
Brother Hai waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the broken keyboard is not worth a few dollars - by the way, the batch of second-hand computers that came in from Shencheng last month broke a few more, I asked people to move them to the warehouse, you hurry up and fix it, get it and go home from work early." ”
Liu Chuanfeng nodded and walked towards the warehouse.
"Ah Feng." Brother Hai called out to him.
"Huh?" Liu Chuanfeng turned his head.
"Be careful when you go back at night, I can still help you in the Internet café, and I won't be able to care if you leave the Internet café."
"I know, it's fine." Liu Chuanfeng turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
"Boss, take a sip of tea to suppress the shock." The plump fat sister gave Brother Hai a tea jar, turned her head to look at Liu Chuanfeng's back and shook her head again and again.
"Alas, what a poor boy, what's going on again?!"
Brother Hai took the teapot and took a big sip, spit out a mouthful of tea stalks, and said, "It is estimated that it was his stinky father again!" ”
Liu Chuanfeng's father is called Liu Jianping.
When Liu Chuanfeng was 10 years old, Liu Jianping abandoned his wife and children and ran away from home, and the only contribution he made to this family may be a seed and a name.
When Liu Chuanfeng was born, it coincided with the official introduction of the animated version of "Slam Dunk" in the mainland, and it became popular all over the country as soon as it was released.
Speaking of Liu Chuanfeng's father Liu Jianping, he was also a "big name" in Bincheng back then, he used to be a professional basketball player, he was chic and dignified when he was young, and captured the hearts of countless girls @潮in Bincheng.
Although he has a good skin, Liu Jianping is a gambler. Mahjong, Pai Gow, Zakin Flower, Fight Landlord...... All of them are fine. Football, basketball, table tennis, yo-yo...... As long as there is a competition, he can gamble, and he is good at calculation, gambling skills are quite good, known as the decathlon gambling saint.
Gambling is always a place to lose, and even the decathlon is often in debt.
Since Liu Chuanfeng remembers, there have been people blocking the door at both ends of the door to ask for debts in three days, and it is common to scold them, and some people who are not particular about it still splash feces on the wall and write big-character posters at the door. There are often creditors who come to my mother's unit.
Every time the creditor finished making trouble, Liu Jianping would kneel on the ground and repent and ask for his wife's forgiveness, tearfully justifying that he was gambling just to make some money so that the mother and son could live a better life, and vowed never to gamble again.
Finally, after two days of honesty, I turned around and gambled again with two dollars in my hand, but lost again.
After many times, he owed a lot of foreign debts. In the end, Liu Jianping was ruthless, secretly mortgaged the house and borrowed a large amount of money, ready to gamble for the last time, and then stopped after turning the book.
As a result, this time I lost my life gamble again.
Liu Jianping, who was bankrupt, went home facelessly, squatted on the road for two hours, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and simply smeared oil on his feet and slipped away.
After hearing the news, the creditors came to the door one after another, threatening to smash all the things in the house, drive the mother and son out, and sell the house to pay off the debt.
The delicate woman took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and bravely stood guard at the door, and said righteously to a group of vicious debt collectors:
"It's only right to pay off debts!
Liu Jianping's debts, our mother and son slowly repay! But who dares to touch this family, I will fight with him! ”
A group of big men were all suppressed by him.
This strong woman guarded her home with a kitchen knife.
Liu Chuanfeng's mother Wang Juan used to be a popular figure in Bincheng, with beautiful appearance and excellent character and learning, she was a school-level existence from primary school to university, and the people who pursued her were like crossing the river from the streets to the alleys, and at most they could form a reinforced company.
But Wang Juan didn't look down on the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles, the second generation of local tyrants and riches, and married Liu Jianping, who retired due to injury and had nothing at that time.
It is said that on the day the two got married, half of the young men's hearts were broken and half of the young women's hearts were drunk.
Who knows that the talented woman can't last long.
Because the impact of Liu Jianping's bad deeds was too bad, Wang Juan lost her job as a radio host, and the relatives who were borrowed by Liu Jianping also made a clear relationship with her, and the mother and son betrayed their relatives for a while.
Wang Juan, who refused to seek fame and fortune, worked as a waitress in a hotel during the day and a nurse in a hospital at night, wearing many hats and vowing to pay off her husband's debts with both hands.
The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. Liu Chuanfeng tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection at a young age, and every time he saw his mother being wronged, he clenched his little fists and secretly vowed to work hard to protect his mother from being bullied when he grew up.
Sensible he has excellent academic performance since he was a child, when he is not in class, he goes to work in the Internet café near the school, at first he just helped people sweep the floor and serve tea and water with takeaway, and then the Internet café guests saw that he was diligent in his hands and feet, so he occasionally asked him to help hang up, power training, he was smart and knew everything as soon as he learned it, and learned computer programming without a teacher. Later, he began to help people repair computers, do power training, and earn some money to supplement their families.
In this way, the mother and son relied on each other, saving money little by little to pay off their debts, and working hard to maintain this broken home.
In Liu Chuanfeng's eyes, his father is a complete bastard, but his mother has always been in love with him, and even in the most difficult times, he has never complained about Liu Jianping, who "abandoned his wife and children".
Liu Chuanfeng once asked his mother: "Do you hate him?" ”
His mother smiled and said to him, "No, I don't hate." ”
Liu Chuanfeng asked: "He treats us like this, why don't you hate him?" ”
His mother touched his head lovingly and said, "It's not easy to love someone, it's even harder to hate someone." You'll understand when you grow up. ”
